My best friend's younger sister got pregnant while we were in high school and like the pp, managed to keep it secret from her parents. It was so weird. She was 8 months along and everyone else knew...

I will admit that there has been a certain shrinkage in the Butterfingers department. If I had seen them in the store to buy them, $100,000 bars would never have survived for the trick or treaters....

I'd have no problems taking away electronics in that situation. I'd let the kid earn them back if they started regularly turning the assignments in, and I'd make the initial suspension much shorter...
